Constitutional Law

As a law student, you need understanding and awareness of key concepts of constitutional imperatives and constitutional law to formulate legal arguments that may arise in a Constitutional state and the structures created by the Constitution. In this course you will be introduced to the supreme law of the Republic of South Africa and the obligations imposed that must be fulfilled. This practical knowledge will enable you to develop skills and competencies in order to analyse and critically evaluate legal material pertaining to the institutional framework within which state power is exercised. This course will also focus on social justice as an inherent component of freedom, equality and dignity that are the foundational values upon which the Constitution (and society) is premised.
